You may not be aware of it, but you have big decisions to make in the coming weeks. The summer is all about television time management and with Big Brother and Wipeout returning, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! promising pain to Sanjaya, and newcomers More to Love and Merlin furrowing our brows, your DVR will be working OT. But it's Tori Spelling and the crew over at Oxygen who receive our first season pass.
Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood [10 PM, Oxygen]
The long-awaited fourth season premieres tonight and in case you didn't catch the sneak peek online, we find Tori & Dean struggling to balance their two children, Dean's acting career, Tori's book/acting/jewelry/clothing careers and trying to unload their home in a down market. Despite the showbiz pedigree, Tori Spelling is more everywoman than most reality divas. She loves her gays, forces Dean to use facial masks and there's never a moment when we aren't rooting for her.
Strong Men: Scottish Highland Games [8 PM, National Geographic]
Remember that scene in Made of Honor where Patrick Dempsey competes in extreme pole-sports while wearing a mini-kilt? Well, that might seem like a respectful treatment of Scottish traditions compared to this latest stop for G4's Human Wrecking Balls, the Pumphrey brothers. Hopefully, their kilts will be longer, and there won't be too many jokes about haggis.
Making of 'Land of the Lost' [10:45 PM, HBO]
It's been a long time since we relied on Access Hollywood or Extra for our movie promotion puff pieces, and these 15-minute talking head-clip shows on HBO are an important reason why. Sadly, this slick look at the new Brad Silberling-directed Anna Friel film (Will Ferrell and Danny McBride also make appearances) will keep your attention longer than the denouement of most 10 PM shows.
Scary Movie [10 PM, MTV]
Saw Dance Flick last night. Laughed twice: First, at Amy Sedaris berating people, which is funny any day of the week. The other time was when the end titles showed that five Wayans men wrote that film. Only two Wayans were involved in the scripting of this catchall horror movie spoof, but what makes this a superior film is its more famous cast and that it moves on when a joke isn't working.
